Virtual TapeServer 6.03.42 Installation Guide
124 | SCSI-to-Fibre Channel Adapter Upgrade
Here is a snapshot of the SCSI card after it is removed:
g. After you install all of the Fibre Channel upgrade cards in the appropriate slots, make
sure the blue clips are firmly seated and locked in place on each slot. Then, re-install
the shipping bracket and make sure the pull tab is secure.
h. Place the top cover back in place and secure it. Slide the HP DL585 ProLiant server
back into the rack and secure the two quick-disconnect screws on the front panel.
i. From the rear of the HP ProLiant DL585 server, reconnect any remaining SCSI cables
to the same ports where they were originally connected, if necessary. Because you
removed one or more SCSI cards, you will have several extra, unused SCSI cables.
Reconnect the power cords.
4. On the HP ProLiant DL385 G2 (VT5900-E)
Remove the SCSI card(s) and install the Fibre Channel card(s).
a. From the rear of the HP ProLiant DL385 G2 server, mark each SCSI cable with the
port position to which it is attached. This will make it easier to reattach them to the
correct SCSI ports later.
b. Disconnect the ProLiant power cords as a precaution. Disconnect all SCSI cables from
the SCSI adapters for easier access to the adapter cards.
c. If the HP ProLiant DL385 G2 is mounted in a rack, loosen the front pull tabs and slide
the server out so that you can open the top cover. Do not remove the server from the
rails. If there is a stabilizer foot, extend it so the enclosure does not tip forward.
d. Open the ProLiant DL385 G2 top cover, remove it, and set it aside.
e. Look inside the ProLiant DL385 G2 server to the back right-hand side where a
pluggable module, called the PCI Riser cage, houses the SCSI and Fibre Channel
adapters. You will see a two round blue quick-release pull tabs that you need to open.
Once loose, grasp the PCI Riser cage and pull up to remove it from the DL385 G2
chassis. Refer to the diagrams on top of the PCI Riser cage if you have any questions
about its removal. Set the PCI Riser cage on a flat surface that allows ample access to
the side of the module where the adapter cards can be accessed. Note the blue tabs or
pull tabs that allow each adapter to be removed from its slot.
